Intel's plans for virtual TV & the battle to dominate your living room
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, June 11 2012 @ 12:02 PM EDT
Facial recognition to target advertising.

Sorry - This is invasion of privacy, IMHO. If my provider try to force me to
install a box with the features that Intel is offering, I would state, if that
is my only choice, then I am cancelling the service.

BTW: If they have cameras that can do facial recognition, what else will they be
able to see or hear.

My home is where I close the doors and make the decisions as to who can come in.
I also want to be able to watch whatever I want without being tracked.

As PJ said, this is getting creepy.

I wonder if there are any laws that are going to be broken if this type of
technology goes forward?

Can you spell "telescreen"? I knew you could, Winston.

What's in it for me?

I see no advantage whatsoever.

Someone wants to track me for marketing puposes. Blech! I have blockers to
prevent that, why on earth would I pay to get even more?

Just as only lawyers find software patents a good thing, only a marketer finds
invasion of privacy to be a positive.
